SL-15 Chat, January 18, 2014

“2014 will be a year of answers. Seriously. Oh all of you stop rolling your eyes and snickering.”SLM, January 18th, 2014

What we learn:

With the help of thepretenderdaughter (who has the keys to the secret attic where the pretender universe was created) and who is determined to finally crack open the mayonnaise jar — the answers will begin to flow.In the spring/summer 2014 we will start a new special feature at thepretenderlives.com“The Secrets In The Attic” where tpd will answer this and other questions on a monthly basis. You will also be able to virtually explore the mysterious sections of the Centre Sub Levels where these answers are held. ~ SLM

Broots will be back!

Broots will get a special intro very soon – by book ten for sure LOL ~ CVS

Broots will make be back in book three – if not sooner… Ok? ~ SLM

Broots has a plan. to get rid of the monobrow ~ Jon Gries

It’s going to be the battle – Unibrow versus the man with the golden dome! ~ CVS

What is Broots first name? Is it his first or last name? We’ll reveal that when he returns to the novels. ~ CVS

Baby Parker

We hear the answers to what happened to Baby Parker are in The Infirmary – and that the story revealed there is truly fascinating. ~ SLM

Saving Luke

Getting very close Erica. March-ish. Saving Luke is really reading great (if we may say so ourselves). ~ CVS

We anticipate it being out in March – but we will need your help to make that happen. Just like with Rebirth – we will need the fans help to pick the cover. You guys willing to help? ~ CVS

We’ll get the book jacket poll up soon so YOU ALL can help us decide. Thanks – worked great last time. ~ CVS

Miss Parker

Starting in the summer we will release the first in a line of Young Miss Parker Novels exploring her formative years as a teen and young 20 something. The time in her life where at ‘Centre U’ she learned all the tricks of the Centre trade and became the sexy hell on wheels woman we have all grown to love. ~ SLM

In the 3rd novel she is off on a journey that will lead her to a dark part of her past she never knew existed and one she needs the guidance within to help her survive the revelations she uncovers. Miss Parker is a smart lady ~ SLM

Catherine Parker

Yes, Catherine is dead – but we will also have a portion of the new section of thepretenderlives.com that will reveal the story of her life. WHICH LEADS TO ANOTHER ANNOUNCEMENT – #3 As we all know Catherine left a diary. We hear it starts the day she met Mr. Parker for the first time – and ended the night before she died. If you guys want to read it – and the mysteries it contains – demand it from thepretenderdaughter she has the keys to the secret attic where CVS and SLM dreamed the entire Pretender Universe up. ~ SLM

FROM THE DIARY “She looked in the eyes of the tall man who entered the bakery – inside of them glistened her future” ~ SLM

Jarod

We’ll soon learn more about Jarod’s abduction in upcoming books ~ CVS

Jarod wont stop until he meets his mother and learns who he really is. As the novels unfold we will see that along Jarod’s journey – and that of Miss Parker – we will learn much, much more about his mother – and hers. Many things never revealed. ~ CVS

Torture is such a relative word, but I will say that in the upcoming Saving Luke there is more than enough torture for our friend Jarod. ~ CVS

Mr Parker

Nothing can kill Mr. Parker nor cover up the secrets he took with him. ~ SLM

What’s Miss Parker’s first name? Remember the character Daphne from Rebirth? Well in Saving Luke she makes it her goal in life to discover the answer to that question for herself (and for everyone else who wants to know it). And once Daphne has a mission – nothing will stop her from accomplishing it. ~ SLM

Jarod & Miss Parker

Their future is tied to their past. But if you want a glimpse there are three big foreshadowing reveals of what both entail in Saving Luke. ~ CVS

Sydney

Do Sydney and Michelle finally get together in the end becoming a family with Nicholas. On the website this story line will be explored in ways never before revealed Secret to Nicholas. ~ SLM

Ethan

The Pretender Daughter will be answering the question about Ethan among many other things very soon ~ SLM

G.I.F.T.

As promised over the holidays, CVS and SLM have a present being built for all of the fandom. It will operational in a few weeks. Here’s a taste of what’s in store: As we know, the Centre outwardly portrays itself as a bastion of cutting-edge science. But within the Centre is a very special sublevel that houses a creative hub where amputee dwarves can be found mingling with telekinetic twins. This hub is called the GIFT by the powers that be, a Global Integrated Fandom Thinktank. It’s a place where you can come to collaborate, coordinate, and create various projects related to the Pretender Universe. As you may remember, a fan designed the art used on the cover of the first novel Rebirth. Over the last 6 months we have discovered that she was only one of the thousands of very talented people within this unique global fandom and we wanted to provide a community space for them to gather to show and share their ‘gifts.’And who knows, maybe you too will be discovered. We have quite a few ideas in mind, ranging in scope from fan fic to visual arts, from computer graphics to textile crafts, and maybe even some large-scale operations… so we hope to see you in the Giftank very soon.~ SLM

The cover art will be chosen in the new GIFT section as soon as it launches ~ SLM

French Translation

We are also going to need help in creating the cover for the French translation of Rebirth ~ SLM

Graphic Novel

Meeting about the Graphic Novel are taking place all of next week with the Blonde MP. We will let you all know as soon as we have a real date ~ SLM

Vicky

I love this first announcement!

Christian J – Tintinrulz

Hi Rym. Good to see you, mate.

Lazlo Hollyfeld

Hey Jon, been a fan since I saw you in Real Genius. Thanks for doing this. I thought you added a unique element to The Pretender that we didn’t even know we needed until you showed up. I know it is getting tiresome to hear, but when I was reading the book, I missed Broots too.

Candace

JON: Was there any aspect of your character that was not explored in either the series or the movies that you wish he had?

Jose Alfredo Chinchacho

Yes! We want bloopers! When will they be posted on YouTube?

Nathalie

Sorry I’m late… technical problems… Hi everyone!

Syd_Delphine

Amazing first answer ! (and hello Nathalie !)

ASSMO

JON JON JON you said you did

Christian J – Tintinrulz

Some people would say that Broots isn’t necessary, but he’s the everyman. You need the Centre staff trinity of Miss Parker, Sydney and Broots for it to work. Agreed?

SLM

What do you mean you didn’t read the book?

CVS

The Attic is dusty, needs visitors! Lot’s of secrets

Celina

Hi Rym, hi Nathalie!

Miss Parker

Wait…you didn’t read the book?

Skye

OMG I didn’t know Craig was here too. HHI CRAIG <yay

Rym

Great answer about Baby P

Miss Bougainvillea

SLM – I didn’t read the book either, just pretend I did

Miss Parker

How do you know Broots is not in it?

Jon Gries

Sose

Derek M. Walker

.M.X.F.

Miss Parker

Miss Parker

Mr Lyle

Is there any news about translating the books into other languages?

Karen~Jarod’s Safe House

@Assmo, the sticky note was the big clue!

Miss Parker Mmmm

Mrs J.

They let just about anyone in here, Derek.

Jon Gries

Lilifrance

Of course Derek lol

CVS

As I said, felt like someone was spying on me earlier, per the video on FB

Christina M – Florida

How did you research the role? Did you spend time in any think tanks?

Lazlo Hollyfeld

Hey Craig, Steve…what was the deal with the last Pretender movie for TNT? Island of the Haunted? Did you guys have something to do with that? It seems at a complete right angle to what had happened previously in the show.

Derek M. Walker

Whaaaa?!

Jon Gries

I spent a lot of time alone and wondering

SOUMAYA

OMG THIS IS AWESOME, , WE SHOULD MAKE THIS EVERYDAY 😀

Jon Gries

Thanks Christina

SLM

BTW DEREK WALKER THE GUY WHO WROTE AMG – the movie JG is scheduled to direct is her with us as well

Skye

Steve and Jon my mom wanted to be here but she in ER she said to say helllloooooo

Christina M – Florida

Wondering or wandering? … I guess that makes sense.

The Cope

Lazlo – REAL GENIUS reference

CVS

Derek M. Walker

It was me Craig. I was spying. Bad habit sorry

Jon Gries

HI Skye’s MOM Kiss

Jose Alfredo Chinchacho

So when are bloopers coming? I love bloopers!

Miss Parker

Lazlo, IOTH and TP2001 were both written by CVS and SLM

CVS

Huuuummmmm Derek – gonna have to change the locks on that SL

ASSMO

Christina M – Florida

I worked for a while at the RAND Corp in Santa Monica. I always felt like I was back there when I watched the show.

SLM

Jon Gries

Miss Parker

.M.X.F.

um sure!

Le Caméléon Hypnoweb

i think it is the show no ?

ASSMO

hello Derek

Miss Parker

SLM i feel your pain

SLM

Carl asks: Will Broots make a comeback in the new series? It would be great to see a showdown between Broots and Cornman for the top IT job at the Centre!!!! (A little youth and skill vs. Age and treachery..LOL) SLM: Carl have you somehow gotten your hands on the 2nd and 3rd pretender novels?

Uriah

So we have the new book, does this mean that maybe Jarod will be emerging else where soon?

Karen~Jarod’s Safe House

Oh Gosh Steve, I thought I was the only one getting lost.

Skye

I hope she will be my step dad got mad and she got hurt

Christina M – Florida

I think Broots should get the top job. Would be interesting to see his character change.

Miss Parker

The Centre is at work…SLM I feel your pain

Jon Gries

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain

Derek M. Walker

I’ve got a guy like person inside the Center

Miss Roxy

ASSMO

Christian J – Tintinrulz

Broots isn’t a violent character but he needs to take Corn down.

Mr Lyle

Mrs J.

Jon Gries

Coto

Christina M – Florida

Not quite jumping the shark, but out there.

Candace

Craig: In the Island of the Haunted the character Ocee said Jarods mother was with another woman. Was she referring to the past or was Mrs. Parker really alive?

Christian J – Tintinrulz

Karen, yes. That would work perfectly.

Christina M – Florida

Fun, though.

Mrs J.

To SLM, CVS or Jon, would the love/hate relationship between Broots and Miss P. have tempered over time? Is it possible they hook up?

Miss Parker Mmmm

Who has more hair on their head, Jon or Steve?

Miss Parker

Nice q Candace

Miss Roxy

Nathalie, did you read what SLM just wrote? 😛

Candace

Mr Lyle

Good question Erica 😉

Jose Alfredo Chinchacho

Yes I like conventions

Rym

They HAVE to ! 🙂

Nathalie

So when is saving luke coming out then?

The Cope

My favorite Broots moment: Jarod scares him in the house, he runs down stairs into the kitchen for something to defend himself, and grabs a spoon.

Candace

Convention please.

Lilifrance

We want you here in Europe

CVS

Getting very close Erica. March-ish. Saving Luke is really reading great (if we may say so oursleves).

Celina

@The Cope: that was funny.

.M.X.F.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA love that moment

Mr Lyle

Nathalie

Fav’ broots scene… risquee business when it takes up the courage to talk to miss p…

Jon Gries

Top moments in Brootsdom

CVS

Erica

Loved that scene as well

Joel

March-ish? Can you make tomorrow-ish?

Mrs J.

What’s your favourite Broots moment, Jon?

Christina M – Florida

Did we ask Jon already about favorite episode or scene?

Christian J – Tintinrulz

Announcement 2 – Saving Luke will be out March-ish.

Derek M. Walker

My favorite Broots moment: is right now!

Celina

@SLM: You can invite your sister to the convention. I am sure she will like it.

Kevin G.

Hey Jon ! Your scenes with Michael T. Weiss were always exciting and the highlight of the show !

Miss Roxy

The Shut Up scene in tp2001 is pretty good, with your monologue about thumbs. Love it! 😀

Nathalie

Sure we are!

Lazlo Hollyfeld

Show me the selections, and I will pick one for you right now!

Miss Parker

Of course CVS

Lilifrance

SOUMAYA

Mr Lyle

Of course Crai

Mr Lyle

Craig

Celina

SLM

Vania

Syd_Delphine

Vicky

Favourite moment: Broots speaking French, and the scene with Jarod in the interrogation room in tP2001

Candace

Jon: I just have to say I agree about your recap of the movie in the car with Michael.

R_Delphine

Hello! 🙂

Jared

Come to Emerald City Comicon in Seattle!

SLM

Patti asks: I’d [also] love to know if Miss Parker was a rebellious teen? Funny if you should ask that Patti – in fact starting in the summer we will release the first in a line of Young Miss Parker Novels exploring her formative years as a teen and young 20 something. The time in her life where at ‘Centre U’ she learned all the tricks of the Centre trade and became the sexy hell on wheels woman we have all grown to love.

Jon Gries

A Laura andiamo

Syd_Delphine

(hello Delphine #2)

Christina M – Florida

Jon, what was your favorite?

SLM

when is that Jared?

ASSMO

Guys can we all slow down just a little so they can answer! that way everyones questions can be read too 🙂

SOUMAYA

you guys can always count on us 🙂

Uriah

Personal fav for the Brootsdom is – what he usually said after he told Ms. Parker something as she walked away.. I just loved the witty edge he had.

Mrs J.

She does a lot of frat boys, one who turns out to be a priest, SLM… M…

.M.X.F.

what coicon in seattle? i live near there!!!

Miss Parker

Agreed Emily….like SLM says.. I’m lost

Celina

Come to FACTS in Belgium!

Jose Alfredo Chinchacho

Yes yes come to comicon In Seattle

SLM

Skye is she okay?

R_Delphine

We want Raines in Saving Luke!

Uriah

Frat boys, wow all the way back to the pilot episode…

ASSMO

yes thinking of you Skye xx

Mrs J.

😉

SOUMAYA

oh so he was speaking french, well in the french version he was speaking ITALIEN :p

SIS

SIS rarely in agreement with ASSMO: please give the guys a chance to respond

We’ll get the book jacket poll up soon so YOU ALL can help us decide. Thanks – worked great last time.

Jon Gries

Uriah SLM and CVS gave me my witty edge

SLM

Skye tell her we answered he question: Jessi asks: Will Miss Parker learn how to better use her inner voice? SLM: Yes Jessi she will. In the 3rd novel she is off on a journey that will lead her to a dark part of her past she never knew existed and one she needs the guidance within to help her survive the revelations she uncovers. Miss Parker is a smart lady – almost as clever as Skye.

Jon Gries

And now took it away

.M.X.F.

Hey jose “it’s for me” Mr R.

Skye

SLM I don’t know yet, my stepdad got mad and well she got hurt

Rym

almost as clever as Skye ?!

Jared

SLM – It’s March 28-30th.

SLM

let me know skye okay?

CVS

Hey Jonny – don’t be bitter now – we got your back

Mr Lyle

@ Craig & Steve: Which characters we know from the show will return in the novels? Question of my brother (and Mr Cox-lover 😉 )

Ms J~Judi

@SLM @Skye yes, please let us know

Celina

@Skye: hope your mom will get well soon

Jon Gries

You got my back in the hollywood sense? Door closed

Christian J – Tintinrulz

Announcement 3 – Young Miss Parker novels starting in Summer.

zekenix

You should have Jon somewhere on the cover after leaving him out of the 1st book an all… 😉

CVS

Janye asks: Will the kindle version be available at the same as the paper version?

SLM

Well if he is a Mr. Cox lover then…

Candace

Craig: In the first few minutes of The Pretender 2001…there is a convo about Jarod and wethere or not he was really kidnapped but no one says anything. Will that be revealed in the novels?

Mrs J.

So tempted to say something but will bite my tongue, SLM haha

Skye

SLM I will and she will be very happy that you answered her question <dhd

CVS

Uh no Jon, meant the other ‘got your back’ LOL

SLM

FROM A FAN EMAIL BRI ASKS: Is Catherine Parker dead? SLM: Yes, Catherine is dead – but we will also have a portion of the new section of thepretenderlives.com that will reveal the story of her life. WHICH LEADS TO ANOTHER ANNOUNCEMENT – #3 As we all know Catherine left a diary. We hear it starts the day she met Mr. Parker for the first time – and ended the night before she died. If you guys want to read it – and the mysteries it contains – demand it from thepretenderdaughter she has the keys to the secret attic where CVS and SLM dreamed the entire Pretender Universe up.

Miss Parker

Christian…these are the graphic novels you are referring to?

Christian J – Tintinrulz

Steve, book 3 sounds like the beginning of some revealing moments!

Jon Gries

Zeknix I as the same way in the show. It took three seasons to include me in the opening credits. But hey I’m not bitter. I’m always happy about slowly developing a character

Jon Gries

it was

Miss Parker

ok thepretenderdaughter, give up the diary!

Vicky

I was so curious about this diary, so thank you for that!

Kevin G.

Love the Pretender beginning when Broots is being hunted down by the second Pretender . Simply Awesome ! If you remember.

SOUMAYA

oh something elese, does annyone know who is Miss Parker’s real father :p

Mr Lyle

Hmm…interestings announcements… 😉

SLM

and more to come

Erica

@JON: I don’t get the credit things either… to me you were always one of the big 4 😉

Mr Lyle

So… what about other famous characters then? 😉

Mrs J.

Nothing is known about Broots’ background. Is it possible he’s another IVF baby? A son of Major Charles, maybe? Brown eyes happening instead of blue… a half brother to Jarod even?

Candace

Soumaya; Mr. Reines

zekenix

Jon, you did a GREAT job of developing the character. “The Pretender” was one of the best shows ever.

Christina M – Florida

I like that thought, Mrs. J

Jon Gries

Hazel

Derek M. Walker

Craig and Steve: where did the original idea for the show come from? I will accept a classified answer

.M.X.F.

thepretenderdaughter is that a site or a person if it is a person what are they on?

The Team without Broots… Is like Jarod without his PEZ… it’s just not right.

Miss Parker

the original Pretender right…Ferdinand de something….

Christina M – Florida

Who is Hazel and why does she keep popping up everywhere?

Celina

@Erica, @Jon: You have always been a full member of Miss Parker’s team.

Jon Gries

Wait are you calling me a Pez?

Mrs J.

Hazel is closer to brown, genetically speaking (I think)

SLM

you are sweet inside – Jon

Vicky

@Eric: you’re so right!

Le Caméléon Hypnoweb

lol

Christian J – Tintinrulz

Miss Parker – I’m not sure if they’re the novels I was referring too. I think not. The graphic novels will centre on the history of The Centre, but through young Miss Parker’s eyes.

SOUMAYA

Cadance …. OOHHH

Derek M. Walker

Ohhh, I always thought so

.M.X.F.

JARODS OUT OF PEZ (falls out of chair)

Miss Roxy

Jon I think your last comments are some of the funniest things I’ve ever read in my life! 🙂

CVS

Jon is just such a sweetheart – no really – no really he is.

Miss Parker

You don’t know what novels you are referring to? oops…

The Cope

Jon, what was your favorite acting role outside Pretender?

Jon Gries

You need to get out more, Roxy

Erica

@CVS: do you need sth from him?

Christina M – Florida

They’ve planted a chip in some guys brain now, and he can’t do half the stuff Jarod did.

Uriah

@Jon Gries, so I must know back in the day you had the chance to takeout Jarod but didn’t Why?

Miss Parker

Is he really a sweetheart?

Jon Gries

JK

Kevin G.

Jon. You ever keep in touch with your television daughter ? What is she doing now ?

Erica

@Jon: was it hard not to laugh during the motel scene where you had to say “call me Puff Daddy” to Miss P?

Miss Roxy

I really do. Spent the night before this chat watching tP. You were “almost going to vomit” for something Lyle did 😉

ASSMO

hang on are we chatting with Jon or Broots cause Broots wouldn’t say stuff like that Re Roxy lol

SLM

FROM A FAN EMAIL Jessi asks: Did Mr. Parker survive his jump from the plane in IOTH? Nothing can kill Mr. Parker nor cover up the secrets he took with him.

CVS

@MP; He REALLY IS

Jon Gries

I can’t reveal anything about Debbie

R_Delphine

Can we have just one page of the ” diary”? Or just one quote! 😉

Christina M – Florida

I bet they laughed a lot. Outtakes?

Miss Parker

CVS I have my doubts…he does not follow you on Twitter…why?

Christian J – Tintinrulz

Derek: Steve and Craig combined elements of “The Fugitive” TV series, with the real life Pretender – Ferdinand Waldo Demara and some dark secrets of the Cold War that they read in “The Genius Project” book.

Christina M – Florida

So where are the out takes?

Vicky

@SLM: no one really dies at the Centre, right? Except for Catherine Parker as you said…

CVS

Bri asked: Jarod and Miss Parker are my favorite couple…well almost couple….like the almost kiss…but any insight into what their future holds? Their future is tied to their past. But if you want a glimpse there are three big foreshadowing reveals of what both entail in Saving Luke.

Miss Parker

Outtakes, bloopers…bring them on!

Mrs J.

SLM: Would you replace Harve as Mr P. in a series/movie(s) or write him out completely, killing him off for once and for all when he jumped from the plane?

SOUMAYA

oh yes our cutie Debbie, did she become a LITTEL MISS PARKER

ASSMO

good question Mrs J

Joel

Sadly enough, the same can not be said for Mr. Harvey Presnell. His performances were truly amazing.

ASSMO

SLM PLEASE ANSWER

Jon Gries

ROXY I was only playing with you. At My expense. Because I don’t always thing the things I say are funny

CVS

My answer got lost here it is: Their future is tied to their past. But if you want a glimpse there are three big foreshadowing reveals of what both entail in Saving Luke.

Celina

If Broots dies, Debbie could become a Little Miss PArker.

SLM

FROM THE DIARY “She looked in the eyes of the tall man who entered the bakery – inside of them glistened her future”

Mrs J.

Everyone who ever appeared in tP was amazing, Joel 🙂

Miss Roxy

Oh no, they are Jon. They really are! 😀

SLM

exactly Vicky

Christina M – Florida

A gluten-free bakery.

Jon Gries

Well thanks

.M.X.F.

I’m gluten free!

Derek M. Walker

That is very intriguing Christain. I’m always fascinated by what causes the spark

Joel

True Mrs. J.

Christian J – Tintinrulz

Derek, me too!

Ms J~Judi

Jon, how long have you been a horse back rider? Seems like you’ve been around horses a long time, very comfortable. Your pics are great.

R_Delphine

SLM : thanks!!!!!!! <3

Christian J – Tintinrulz

Christina – gluten-free? I hope not. Glutton-free, maybe.

Candace

What happens now that Mr. Parker did not bury the scrolls in the sea? Will they be discovered by another and used in the control of hte Center or Jarod?

Miss Parker

I vote we have a moderator next time…this chat is like a runaway train…not that I”m not enjoying it 🙂

CVS

Yes Jon, why don’t you follow me on Twitter? Andy Parker does.

Mrs J.

CVS: Is “Saving Luke” finished or still in the final throes?

ASSMO

hahaha

Miss Parker

Yes jon why?

Lilifrance

Agree miss Parker

Skye

My mom’s favorite character is MissParker but, I LOVED Broots so I am so happy that he is back <heart

Miss Parker

Thanks Lili 🙂

Celina

@Jon: What would you like to happen to Broots?

Jon Gries

Whole life around the horses. Father an amateur rodeo cowboy. Thanks Judi

SLM

BRI ASKS: What’s Miss Parker’s first name? SLM: Remember the character Daphne from Rebirth? Well in Saving Luke she makes it her goal in life to discover the answer to that question for herself (and for everyone else who wants to know it). And once Daphne has a mission – nothing will stop her from accomplishing it.

.M.X.F.

will there be another TV series?

Erica

Jon only follows Leland aka Argyle… :p

Mrs J.

Was going to ask you about riding horses but saw “Deep in the Heart” which answered that for me, Jon 🙂

Uriah

Miss Parker – Agreed,

Miss Parker

Good luck to Daphne…are we fans still gonna get a chance to guess MP

Miss Parker

‘s first name

.M.X.F.

haha nice

Kevin G.

My ending to The Pretender is that Broots did an Edward Snowden on the Centre.

Derek M. Walker

Yeah Jon Gries why you no follow me on twitter either??

Christina M – Florida

I think her name is Hazel.

CVS

@Mrs J: Written, now editing and making it the best it can be

Derek M. Walker

Le

Derek M. Walker

oops

ASSMO

More importantly Jon Why don’t you follow me???

Vicky

I’m not sure I want to know MP’s real name… Is it weird? I mean, she’ll always be MP…

Jessi asks: Will Jarod ever meet his mother? CVS: Jarod wont stop until he meets his mother and learns who he really is. As the novels unfold we will see that along Jarod’s journey – and that of Miss Parker – we will learn much, much more about his mother – and hers. Many things never revealed.

Mrs J.

*I’m now officially on tenterhooks*

Jon Gries

Thanks MsJudi

Christina M – Florida

If he becomes BOSS of the Center he will definitely be meaner. And power is an aphrodesiac (sp).

Christian J – Tintinrulz

Veronica, it will be a secret part of the website, probably password-protected.

Miss Parker

Jon: do you watch tv, any fave shows right now?

Skye

BIG HUGS @SLM AND JON I WOULD STAY LONGER BUT IM GOING TO GO SEE MY MOM

Candace

I have a strange feeling that his mother isnt all that innocent in this abduction scheme.

Jon Gries

Cops

Veronica Welsh

Christian, how do you know?

Ms J~Judi

@

Miss Parker

Cops…oh…that is so Broots!

Mr Lyle

Abso-fucking-lutely Christina… as you see on me… *grin*

Lilifrance

Karen~Jarod’s Safe House

Candace

KrisR

This isn’t easy on a phone :p

Miss Parker

lol @Jon

.M.X.F.

DON”T SCARE ME LIKE THAT MISS PARKER!!!!!!!

Vania

@SLM Any news regarding that special project for the fans you mentioned last December?

Miss Parker

Miss Parker is not leaving! ok!! 🙂

Lilifrance

Just one more thing: you have all the support you need here in France. We LOVE the show

SLM

I’m glad you asked that – As promised over the holidays, CVS and SLM have a present being built for all of the fandom. It will operational in a few weeks. Here’s a taste of what’s in store: As we know, the Centre outwardly portrays itself as a bastion of cutting-edge science. But within the Centre is a very special sublevel that houses a creative hub where amputee dwarves can be found mingling with telekinetic twins. This hub is called the GIFT by the powers that be, a Global Integrated Fandom Thinktank. It’s a place where you can come to collaborate, coordinate, and create various projects related to the Pretender Universe. As you may remember, a fan designed the art used on the cover of the first novel Rebirth. Over the last 6 months we have discovered that she was only one of the thousands of very talented people within this unique global fandom and we wanted to provide a community space for them to gather to show and share their ‘gifts.’

Uriah

Miss Parker – Yeah, your staying

Miss Parker

Special project…? oooh!

Jon Gries

THANK YOU LILIFRANCE BIG KISS

Miss Parker

GIFT I luv it!!

SOUMAYA

i was 7 years old when i watched the pretender for the first time, and now we are chatting with STEVEN , CRAIG, AND JON , OMG this is a dream coming true, do you realize guys 😀

Vicky

Wow! It sounds great, SLM!

SLM

And who knows, maybe you too will be discovered. We have quite a few ideas in mind, ranging in scope from fan fic to visual arts, from computer graphics to textile crafts, and maybe even some large-scale operations… so we hope to see you in the Giftank very soon.

ASSMO

no kisses for us Aussie Jon 🙁

Veronica Welsh

SOUMAYA I know what you mean!! This is ridiculous

Mr Lyle

Pretty interesting Steve… 😀 Sounds cool

Jon Gries

ASSMO KISSES

CVS

Show us more of your gifts!

Miss Roxy

This is very cool!

ASSMO

xx

Rym

I can’t wait for all of this Steve!

Mrs J.

I sent Jon an Aussie kiss in my clip ASSMO 😉

Derek M. Walker

I first wrote AMG in 2009 🙂

SLM

Hi Kevin G’s mom – a big kiss to you!

Miss Parker

Very very cool…GIFT 🙂

.M.X.F.

it’s wierd but I was born the year tP came out!?!?!

KrisR

Sounds like an awesome plan, guys!

Candace

Thats a great idea….

Mr Lyle

Hmm… ist torturing a gift Craig?

Kevin G.

Thanks Steve !

Christina M – Florida

Awesome!!!

Jon Gries

So was I

Candace

do we get credit lol

Miss Parker

lol Jon

Joel

I suck at drawing and broidery (and I’m also not that good with computer programming), so I’ll have to try my best with a story.

Derek M. Walker

But the writing process never really ends

Mrs J.

So it’s sort of a good thing to have the time to develop it to your liking, Derek?

CVS

@Mr. Lyle – Torture is such a relative word, but I will say that in the upcoming Saving Luke there is more than enough torture for our friend Jarod.

Vania

@SLM thanks! GIFT I like the sound of that 😀

Christian J – Tintinrulz

Great announcements so far.

ASSMO

Hey SLM and CVS would you guys consider doing a pledge thing like AMG

Miss Parker

Good question Emily

jacci

this GIFT idea sounds intriguing, can’t wait to see what you got cooking up

ASSMO

where us fans pledge money to help fund tP 🙂 we all want it to go ahead

CVS

@ASSMO: tell me more

Mr Lyle

Good to know Craig >:)

Mallory

it’s like jarod saying “life’s a gift!”

Miss Parker

exactly Miss M!

Uriah

@Jon, last question for you… Do you keep in touch with the rest of the original cast? Or have you moved away from the life that the Pretender gave.

ASSMO

Its what Derek and Jon are doing with AMG i would be in for it! Ask Derek and Jon later 🙂

Would love to organize a convention here in Cologne. Would be the 2nd time 😉 1st time was another series 2 years ago 😉

Mrs J.

You’re hugely famous in my mind too, Jon. This is such an honour!

Jon Gries

The one where I bed Miss P…Or…When I attck jarod with a spoon

Miss Parker

lol :)\

ASSMO

mr wiglges

KrisR

I would go to Cologne for a tP con

Miss Parker

Cold Dick hilarious!

Candace

Mrs J.

Haha. I wonder about Broots and Miss P. still, though. Could it really happen?

Candace

Celina

I like Cologne.

Christina M – Florida

On a very COLD night!!!

ASSMO

Jon My 5 year old niece LOVES that ep

SLM

Kris – they are taking about doing a convention in june in paris – what do you think we should say?

Mrs J.

Who doesn’t, ASSMO? haha

Derek M. Walker

For mrs J: yes we have really had some time to develop lol…. your fb questions – the relationship between Val and Jon he said was just as productive and as characters it was like they just switched roles – and yes Jon is just as lovely in person as he has appeared to you over the last 28 years!

Erica

ASSMO

KrisR

No! MP belongs with Jarod! :p

The Cope

SOUMAYA

SLM , no plane for Algeria 🙁 , i keep dreaming maybe one day 🙂

Miss Parker

Mr Lyle

You think Steve? Would it be a good idea? 😉 Last time we got 9 main actors/actress for the convention. Would be like a win in a lottery doin’ it again 😀

Uriah

So are there plans to release the series on BluRay? I’d buy it as I’m sure many others would. Still wearing out the original DVD’s(and I have back ups of the backs now)

Miss Roxy

Nice question The Cope

Miss Roxy

I loved Ethan!

Jon Gries

Dang right it could happen. She finds me secretly irresistible

CVS

Bri asks: What is Broots first name? Is it his first or last name? CVS: We’ll reveal that when he returns to the novels.

SLM

SOUMAYA: SLM , no plane for Algeria 🙁 , i keep dreaming maybe one day I think we should come there one day and one dy soon.

I bought REBIRTH and I thought the added elements to the existing pilot plotline were incredible. I enjoyed Jarod`s interaction with Skylar very much. It felt very real and spot on for a person who never experienced this kind of feeling before.

Rym

Mr Lyle

Cool, so let’s see what we can do! 😀

Christian J – Tintinrulz

SLM

Broots will crush him soon

Miss Parker

What about you Craig?

Karen~Jarod’s Safe House

Good question 🙂 thank you for asking. It was a really one of those wake up in the middle of the night and out it poured situation. Was a perfect storm of research and magic. I was doing a lot of research about Native repatriation and absorbing myself in all the classic Westerns and old Bogart films. It all came together in a few hours. Once the story was started it took itself to its own ending. Almost wrote itself

Christian J – Tintinrulz

Mr. Lyle, only if those Asian leftovers aren’t human remains.

Uriah

Really @Mr Lyle…I would have thought you had reformed that little tasty habit by now…

Delia

Renaissance is too art connoted, even though it’ll be a more litteral translation

Christian J – Tintinrulz

See you, Christina!

FanT

Johnny did you ever go off script when playing Broots?

Miss Parker

lol SLM…really?

Jon Gries

Serious. I think Paul Reubens is a genius

Rebirth = Renaissance but it doesn’t sound TPish.

Mrs J.

Good question, FanT

CVS

PeeWee’s PlayCentre

Miss Parker

And more importantly did they keep the lines in…

Miss Parker

Uriah

@SLM, so the book is here, the series as long since past… BUT when can we expect the rebirth to lead to the return of The Pretender, as many of us remember watching so long ago or better yet when can we get a movie… Yeah a Movie would be great. Maybe

Karen~Jarod’s Safe House

Christian J – Tintinrulz

SLM or CVS: Can you give us a rough estimate of the book sales numbers for Rebirth?

SLM

Kevin G.

You think the government is watching yhis conversation right now ?

Vicky

We will stop the cloning so that you will come back!

Christian J – Tintinrulz

SLM: Really? I don’t speak Bitcoin.
